Abstract
Serious vascular injury is a rare but potentially devastating complication during anterior lumbar spinal surgery The authors describe the first reported case where vascular injury was detected by multimodality neurophysiological monitoring during an L3–S1 anterior lumbar interbody fusion The case demonstrates the need for multimodality monitoring and the combined use of somatosensoryevoked potentials and motorevoked potentials
